Stocky is shutting down: What Shopify merchants need to do next

What’s happening with Stocky?

Shopify has confirmed that the Stocky app will be fully discontinued on 31 August 2026. The app has already been removed from the Shopify App Store, and several features were stripped out in 2025 as Shopify shifted inventory management into its native Admin tools.

For merchants who relied on Stocky to manage purchase orders, receiving stock, and supplier workflows, that leaves a significant operational gap.

What merchants used Stocky for

Stocky became a core operational tool for many Shopify merchants because it handled inventory workflows that Shopify didn’t cover natively. Merchants commonly used Stocky for:

  • Creating and managing purchase orders
  • Receiving inbound stock into Shopify inventory
  • Supplier and vendor management
  • Basic demand forecasting and reorder suggestions
  • Multi-location inventory visibility

For many businesses, Stocky effectively acted as a lightweight Warehouse Management System inside Shopify.
